U.S.-Australia Cooperative Researh: Turgor Regulation in the Alga Ventricaria

0210946 BissonThis award supports a collaborative research project between Professor玛丽Bisson of SUNY-布法罗和Professors玛丽Beilby and Norman步行者of the University of New South Wales，澳大利亚. 对海洋刺蛾渗透调节的研究将侧重于测量渗透胁迫期间的钾离子通量，以及光、抑制剂和变化的离子浓度对通量速率的影响。 Bisson博士在膨压探针和藻细胞培养方面的专业知识将得到她的澳大利亚同事在使用离子选择性电极测定钾离子通量和电流-电压曲线数学分析方面的经验的补充。这项研究将提供有关典型海藻膜电位产生和控制的基线信息，增加我们对海藻的一般认识，并为海鱼养殖系统提供有价值的资料。 此外，该项目还将加强美国和澳大利亚实验室之间的合作。

0210946BissonThis award supports a collaborative research project between Professor Mary Bisson of SUNY-Buffalo and Professors Mary Beilby and Norman Walker of the University of New South Wales, Australia. Research on osmotic regulation in the marine alga Venticaria will focus on measuring potassium ion fluxes during osmotic stress, and on the effect of light, inhibitors and changing ion concentrations on flux rates. Dr. Bisson's expertise in working with turgor probes and with cultures of Ventricaria will be complemented by the experience of her Australian colleagues in the use of ion-selective electrodes to determine potassium ion fluxes and in the mathematical analysis of current-voltage curves.This study will provide baseline information about the generation and control of membrane potential in a typical marine algae, enhancing our knowledge of marine algae in general and providing valuable information for mariculture systems. In addition, the project will strengthen the collaboration between the U.S. and Australian laboratories.
